  • The Vauban Circular Walk the Vauban Circular Walk
    The Vauban Circular Walk The Vauban Circular Walk The Vauban circuit takes visitors through the historic parts of the city of Luxembourg to the points of strategic importance in one of Europe’s most impressive fortresses, through old city gates and dark casemates, across large fortified bridges to caponiers and a series of bastions. The circuit bears the name of the famous French military engineer, active during the reign of Louis XIV, Sebastien Le Prestre de Vauban (1633-1707). Appointed commissioner for fortifications at the age of just twenty-two, Vauban built or enlarged more than 160 fortresses in total. When he arrived in Luxembourg with the French enemy troops, the Spanish held sovereignty over the fortified city, which from the Middle Ages onward had been ruled by a number of foreign powers in turn. Highly experienced in warfare, Vauban was entrusted with the technical control of the siege of Luxembourg by the French in 1684. After the capture of the fortified city, he oversaw the reconstruction work on the fortress, turning it into the “Gibraltar of the North”, one of Europe's mightiest fortresses of the age. Even though the fortress was almost totally demolished (starting in 1867), the reconstruction work and the addition of forts, redoubts and barracks built by Vauban between 1685 and 1688 with the help of 3,000 labourers, earned the city View over the old town the prestige it still enjoys today. In 1994, sections of the forti- fications and the Old Town were listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Following the traces of Vauban (General Commissioner for Fortifications), you will discover sites that bear witness to Luxembourg’s military past, experience the medieval charm of the old Lower Town of Pfaffenthal and, from the fortified heights, enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the city.

  • Study of the Fortification of Old Scale Models in Order to Automate Their 3D Modelling
    Study of the Fortification of old scale models in order to automate their 3D modelling Kevin Jacquot1, Christine Chevrier2, Gilles Halin3 1,2,3 MAP-CRAI, Centre de Recherche en Architecture et Ingénierie, France, 1,2,3 http://www.crai.archi.fr 1 [email protected], 2 [email protected], 3 [email protected], Abstract. The creation of virtual models of Plans-Reliefs (sometimes called relief maps) is a project to preserve and to make known masterpieces of European Cultural Heritage. In this paper, we present the first experiments carried out in the automatic reconstruction of the fortifications modelled in every plan-relief. Their scale, size and state mean that digitising data alone is not usable. The study of historical documents like the many treatises of fortification allows us to fill in the gap by retrieving all the modelling information required in the creation of a library of parametric components with canonical values. These components are then adjusted according to theoretical ranges with a first set of reference documents like the plans that have been used by the original model makers. Keywords.
